Breast parenchyme metastasis in advanced stage malign melanoma: a case report

Year 2007, Volume: 22 Issue: 1, 35 - 37, 01.02.2007

Abstract

Although primary breast carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, metastases to the breast are relatively uncommon. The incidence of metastasis to the breast from malignant neoplasms other than primary breast carcinoma varies from %1-5. Both the clinicians and pathologists must be very careful in distinguishing metastasis from primary tumor especially in cases when the breast lesion is the first manifestation of the disease. Furthermore, metastatic lesions can also be solitary instead of being multiple which can also cause difficulty in clinical and radiological diagnosis. In this case, a 76-year old woman with a solitary breast metastasis of melanoma is reported and a review of the literature is performed.

İleri evre malign melanomda meme parankim metastazı: Olgu sunumu

Year 2007, Volume: 22 Issue: 1, 35 - 37, 01.02.2007

Abstract

Primer meme tümörleri, en sık karşılaşılan tümörler grubuna dahil olmasına rağmen, meme parankimine metastaz oldukça nadir görülür. Primer meme karsinomu dışındaki malign tümörlerde meme metastazı sıklığı literatürde %1 ile %5 arasında değişmektedir. Özellikle memedeki lezyonun hastalığın ilk bulgusu olduğu durumlarda, klinisyen ve patolog, primer tümör veya metastaz ayrımını yapmakta çok dikkatli olmalıdır. Metastatik meme lezyonları multipl olabilecekleri gibi daha az sıklıkla soliter de olabilirler ve bu durum da özellikle radyolojik ve klinik olarak tanı koymayı güçleştirebilir. Bu yazıda, ileri evre malign melanom tanısı ile tedavi görmekte olan 76 yaşındaki bir kadın hastanın sağ memesinde saptanan soliter melanom metastazı bildirilmiş ve konuyla ilgili literatürdeki bulguların derlemesi yapılmıştır.
